Robert,

Trying to interpret sent text is probably a very slippery slope!...

In the next release however I am going to include a simple automatic
send/receive/capture of the Grid squares for each side. These will automatically
go into the ADIF log file. This is something that is simple, standardized
(e.g. EL98 or EL98pf) and independent of language.

Hmmmm.... just a thought... usually the sender says "my
name is"After that sentence the following word is his/her "name"... software
could read that and highlight that word to be included into the log...I
could be wrong...

>> Robert,>
> I am not sure how much you save by highlighting the name:> 1)

You have to highlight the name ...the program canât determine the name from
the text.

> 2) You have to right click on the highlighted name ...right

now you can copy that for pasting.

> 3) If I provided another right click

option to "paste name to mini logâ it could save 1 mouse click as long as the
target location of the paste was assumed.

> > Re: confirmation of

clear. It canât be undone...I do not like unconfirmed clearing of things that
canât be undone. And add to that it is not necessary to ever clear the
windows...I use it very infrequently here. There have been no other requests to
streamline the clear.

> > These things fall into what I call the

category of personal GUI nits. No two people will agree. If I get lots of
requests to change something like this it may be good to do so....but if I for
example act on a single request it is likely I will get 5 more that say either
âput it back the way it wasâ or âmake it a user selected optionâ ...the
later gets very complicated very quickly. User character sets, user fonts, user
colors, user commands etc.

make the V4 Protocol solid and useable and fairly simple to setup. V4Chat is
just one of many possible clients or GUI that could use the V4 TNC and in time I
suspect there will be others wishing to develop their own client/servers and GUI
using the V4 TNC.
